We approximate functions defined on smooth bounded domains by elements of the eigenspaces of the Laplacian or the Stokes operator in such a way that the approximations are bounded and converge in both Sobolev and Lebesgue spaces. We prove…

We study the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the Laplacian in a $n$-dimensional convex domain. For domains of a fixed inner radius, estimates of Chiti imply that the ratio of the $L^2$-norm and $L^{\infty}$-norm of the eigenfunction is…

The fundamental gap is the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator (and the Laplacian, in particular). For horoconvex domains in hyperbolic space, Nguyen, Stancu and Wei conjectured that it is…

Diverging eigenvalues in domain truncations of Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials are analyzed and their asymptotic formulas are obtained. Our approach also yields asymptotic formulas for diverging eigenvalues in the strong…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures on $\R^d$, where $\mu(\d x)= \e^{-V(x)}\d x$ for some $V\in C^1(\R^d)$. Explicit sufficient conditions on $V$ and $\nu$ are presented such that $\mu*\nu$ satisfies the log-Sobolev, Poincar\'e…

A version of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in operator theory is the following: for any two symmetric, positive definite matrices $A,B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and arbitrary $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ $$ \|AXB\| \leq \|A^2…

Inequalities are derived for sums and quotients of eigenvalues of magnetic Schroedinger operators with non-negative electric potentials in domains. The bounds reflect the correct order of growth in the semi-classical limit.

We study the dimensional Brunn-Minkowski inequality for even log-concave probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ via an analytic approach based on diffusion operators and gradient estimates. Our main result asserts that for every pair…

We give a lower estimate of the gap of the first two eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator with a nonconvex potential in terms of a distance associated with the potential. The results here can be applied to the double well potential.

On the class of log-concave functions on $\R^n$, endowed with a suitable algebraic structure, we study the first variation of the total mass functional, which corresponds to the volume of convex bodies when restricted to the subclass of…

There exist two major subclasses in the class of superquadratic functions, one comprises concave and decreasing functions, while the other consists of convex and monotone increasing functions. Leveraging this distinction, we introduce…

In this paper, a new identity for differentiable functions is derived. Thus we can obtain new estimates on generalization of Hadamard,Ostrowski and Simpson type inequalities for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power…

In this paper we show the existence of two principal eigenvalues associated to general non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic operators with Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded $C^2$ domain. We study these objects and we establish some of…

In this article, we prove a Lichnerowicz estimate for a compact convex domain of a K\"ahler manifold whose Ricci curvature satisfies $\Ric \ge k$ for some constant $k>0$. When equality is achieved, the boundary of the domain is totally…

We find a new sharp trace Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality on convex cones, aswell as a weighted sharp trace Sobolev inequality on epigraphs of convex functions. This is done by using a generalized Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality,…

Using calculus we show how to prove some combinatorial inequalities of the type log-concavity or log-convexity. It is shown by this method that binomial coefficients and Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds are log-concave, and…

Firstly, we propose our conjectured Reverse-log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (RLBM). Secondly, we show that the (RLBM) conjecture is equivalent to the log-Brunn-Minkowski (LBM) conjecture proposed by B\"or\"oczky-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang. We name…
